                             MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

       Section 1. ANNUAL MEETINGS. An Annual Meeting of Shareholders shall be
held in those years in which it is required under the Investment Company Act of
1940 or at such times as approved by the Board of Directors. At such annual
meeting, any other proper business within the power of shareholders may be
transacted.

       Section 2. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of Shareholders may be
called by the President or by the Board of Directors; and shall be called by the
President, Secretary or any Director at the request in writing of the holders of
not less than 10% of the outstanding voting shares of the capital stock of the
Corporation (hereinafter, the outstanding voting shares of the capital stock of
the Corporation are referred to as "Shares"). Any such request shall state the
purposes of the proposed meeting.

       Section 3. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of the Shareholders shall be
held at the office of the Corporation in Hartford, Connecticut, or at such other
place within or without the State of Maryland as may be fixed by the party or
parties making the call as stated in the notice thereof.

       Section 4. NOTICE. Not less than ten or more than ninety days before the
date of every Annual or Special Meeting of Shareholders the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary shall give to each Shareholder of record notice of such
meeting by mail, [telegraph, cable or radio]. Such notice shall be deemed to
have been given when deposited in the mail or with a telegraph or cable office
or radio station for transmission to the Shareholder at his address appearing on
the books of the Corporation. It shall not be necessary to set forth the
business proposed to be transacted in the notice of any Annual Meeting except
that any proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation
shall be set forth in such notice. Notice of a Special Meeting shall state the
purpose or purposes for which it is called.

       Section 5. QUORUM. At all meetings of the Shareholders (including
meetings of Shareholders of a particular series), the presence in person or by
proxy of Shareholders entitled to cast a majority in number of votes shall be
necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence
of a quorum at any meeting, a majority of those Shareholders present in person
or by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time to be held at the same
place without further notice than by announcement to be given at the meeting
until a quorum, as above defined, shall be present, whereupon any business may
be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting originally called
had the same been held at the time so called.

<PAGE>

       Section 6. VOTING. At all meetings of Shareholders, each Shareholder
shall be entitled to one vote or fraction thereof for each Share standing in his
name on the books of the Corporation on the date for the determination of
Shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting. On any matter submitted to a vote
of Shareholders, all Shares of the Corporation then issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote shall be voted in the aggregate and not by class except that
(1) when otherwise expressly required by the Maryland General Corporation Law or
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, Shares shall be voted by
individual class; and (2) only Shares of the respective portfolios are entitled
to vote on matters concerning only that portfolio.

         Section 7. PROXIES. Any Shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of
Shareholders may vote either in person or by proxy. The right to vote by proxy
shall exist only if the instrument authorizing such proxy to act shall have been
executed by the Shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney in any manner
permitted by law and dated, but need not be sealed, witnessed or acknowledged.
The placing of a Shareholder's name on a proxy pursuant to telephonic or
electronically transmitted instructions obtained pursuant to procedures
reasonably designed to verify that such instructions have been authorized by
such Shareholder shall be deemed to constitute execution of such proxy by or on
behalf of such Shareholder. Unless a proxy provides otherwise, no proxy which is
dated more than eleven months before the meeting named therein shall be
accepted. All proxies shall be filed with and verified by the Secretary, or an
Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or if the meeting shall so decide, by the
Secretary of the meeting. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of two
or more persons shall be valid if executed by one of them unless at or prior to
exercise of such proxy the Corporation receives a specific written notice to the
contrary from any one of them. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf
of a Shareholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its
exercise.



       Section 8. INFORMAL ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS. Any action required or
permitted to be taken at any meeting of Shareholders may be taken without a
meeting, if a consent in writing, setting forth such action is signed by all the
Shareholders entitled to vote on the subject matter thereof, and such consent is
filed with the records of the Corporation.

The number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by a
majority of the entire Board of Directors but shall be no less than three nor

from time to time by a majority of the entire Board increase or decrease the
number of directors to such number as they deem expedient not to be less than
three nor more than twenty, however, and fill the vacancies so created. The term
of office of a Director shall not be affected by any decrease in the number of

first Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until successors are duly elected and
qualify, the Board of Directors shall consist of the persons named as such in
the Articles of Incorporation. The Members of the Board of Directors shall be
elected by the Shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Each Director
shall hold office until the Annual Meeting next held after his election and

least two days before the meeting, notice of each meeting of the Board of
Directors, whether Annual, Regular or Special, to each member of the Board by
mail, telegram or telephone to his last known address. It should not be
necessary to state the purpose or business to be transacted in the notice of any
Annual or Regular meeting. The notice of a Special Meeting shall state the
purpose or purposes for which it is called. Personal attendance at any meeting
by a Director other than to protest the validity of said meeting shall
constitute a waiver of the foregoing requirement of notice.

       Section 8. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS AND BUSINESS. The Board of Directors may
adopt such rules and regulations for the conduct of their meetings and the
management of the affairs of the Corporation as they may deem proper and not
inconsistent with applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation of the

       Section 9. QUORUM. A majority of the total membership of the Board of
Directors shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors.
The action of a majority of Directors present at any meeting at which a quorum
is present shall be the action of the Board of Directors unless the concurrence
of a greater proportion is required for such action by statute, the Articles of
of Incorporation of the Corporation, or these By-Laws. In the absence of a
quorum at any meeting a majority of the Directors present may adjourn the
meeting from day to day or for such longer periods as they may designate without
notice other than by announcement at the meeting.

       Section 10. RESIGNATIONS. Any Director of the Corporation may resign at
any time by mailing or delivering, or transmitting by radio, telegraph or cable,
written notice to the President or to the Secretary of the Corporation. The
resignation of any Director shall take effect at the time specified therein,
and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation
shall not be necessary to make it effective.

       Section 11. REMOVAL. At any meeting of Shareholders duly called for the
purpose, any Director may by the vote of a majority of all of the Shares
entitled to vote be removed from office. At the same meeting, the vacancy in the
Board of Directors may be filled by the election of a Director to serve for the
remainder of the term and until the election and qualification of his successor.

       Section 12. VACANCIES. Except as otherwise provided by the Investment
Company Act of 1940 or other applicable law, any vacancy occurring in the Board
of Directors for any cause other than by reason of an increase in the number of
Directors may be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the Board of
Directors although such majority is less than a quorum and any vacancy occurring
by reason of an increase in the number of Directors may be filled by action of a
majority of the entire Board of Directors; provided, however, that upon the
death, resignation or removal during any consecutive period of twelve months of
more than one-half of the Directors holding office at the beginning of such
period, a Shareholders' Meeting shall be called forthwith for the purpose of
electing an entire new Board, including the vacancies filled pursuant to this
Section of the By-Laws. A Director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy shall
be elected to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until
his successor is duly elected and qualifies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Shareholders may, at any time during the term of such director elect to fill a
vacancy, elect some other person to fill said vacancy and thereupon the election
by the Board shall be superseded and such election by the Shareholders shall be
deemed a filling of the vacancy and not a removal and may be made at any meeting
called for such purpose.

       Section 13. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS. The Directors may receive a stated
salary for their services as Directors, and by Resolution of the Board of
Directors a fixed fee and expenses of attendance may be allowed for attendance
at each Meeting. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any
Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity, as an Officer,
Agent or otherwise, and receiving compensation therefor.

telephone or similar communications equipment whereby all persons participating

Annual, Regular or Special Meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken
without a meeting to the extent allowed by Maryland Corporate law and if a

other period, including daily; to set apart out of any funds of the Corporation
